About this property

Old House of charm with swimming pool and panoramic view between Etna and sea

Typical House of 1710 with a spectacular view, Etna and sea the other part, located in TRECASTAGNI near the stairway of the Church of San Nicola, one of the most beautiful and ancient of Sicily. Immersed in the green, having a swimming pool in a unique and very panoramic scenery, in the heart of the historical center of this ancient country. The house is tiled with an ancient Sicilian cooked and furnished with antique furniture, great care in the details. Ideal starting point for excursions on the volcano Etna and visits to nearby beaches, and in the city of Catania, Taormina and Siracusa.

Great stay for the New Year
This was a fantastic home in a small town outside Catania city centre. A prefect place to watch the New Year fireworks (from the close by church) and have a NY dip in the pool! Perfect location to get to Etna (35 min drive) and other close towns - Taormina, Syracuse, Noto, Catania. The house is in a small village with an excellent bakery across the main gate, great fresh fruit and fish shops, and fabulous restaurants - highly recommend San Anton. Carmelo is a very nice host and helpful when we asked about local info. Our family of 8 - 6 adults and 2 kids - had more than enough room.

Delightful property
We really enjoyed staying at the villa. The pool and gardens are wonderful and, as indicated in another review, the house interior is nicer than the photos suggest. Good location for exploring Mount Etna (Would highly recommend Etna Est tours), Siracusa, Taormina and more... Great local shops especially the bakery across the road and the fishmonger and vegetable shops. Good restaurants within walking distance. San Anton restaurant a particular highlight.

Great villa and pool near Etna
We had a fantastic stay at Carmelo’s house. The pool and outside space is fabulous with a great view of Mount Etna (just as good as the photos on the website). Our kids loved it. The house is spacious for a family of five and is clean and well equipped. Trecastagni is a great location. Plenty of good restaurants, food shops and an excellent traditional bar/cafe (Bar Sport - you can get great arancini, granita and ice cream there). Etna and Catania are close by, and Taormina and Siracusa also within easy reach. Carmelo was really helpful and responsive. Highly recommended!

Fabulous holiday
The house was full of character and in the perfect location for restaurants and shops for the essentials. The garden and pool area was stunning with the most incredible views of Etna. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Quirky villa in superb location
We enjoyed 2 weeks here in July. Firstly the location is awesome, right in the middle of the village, bakery opposite, restaurants, ice creams, coffee shops, banks all within walking distance near the base of mount etna. The house itself is secure with large iron gate, there is no parking, you have to park on the street, we always found parking within a couple of minutes walk to the house. There is a steep driveway but it’s only about 20 paces so easy to navigate. The house is very old and quirky, full of charm, dark inside to keep it cool. 3 bedroom downstairs could do with air con but was bearable with a fan. 4 bathrooms all on ground floor, 2 en-suite. 3 bathrooms are very small and the showers are tiny, 1m by 1m EU min standard. Shower heads need modernising, it was like using a hosepipe to shower with, my shower drain was partially blocked, I alerted the owner but nothing was done so in the end I brought a drain clearer and did it my self. Kitchen surprising small but equipped with all the basics, enough to reheat something, cook some pasta or prepare salads. There were no small mixing bowls, measuring jugs or spoons ( I had to buy one) or casserole dishes so you wouldn’t be able to properly cook anything. The villa garden is fantastic, beautiful pool, spotlessly clean with a lovely view of etna close to the church which rings bells during the day. 2 nice eating areas. We didn’t use the BBQ. We would definitely return to this villa again. Thank you for a lovely stay.
